- Actually, none of those suggestions mean anything too me. I go grocery shopping on a weekly basis. I certainly don’t need a computer to tell me I’m out of milk, because I can simply see it with my eyes.
Things about maintenance, like, what is the actual temperature in the meat and vegetable drawers would be useful. Also, knowing if there is a problem with the ice maker, especially the filter state, would be handy.
But applying RFID material to a home fridge is just…no way. The first thing I’d do would be to disable that.
A nice computer toy to add to a fridge might be a label maker, though, for putting on the tupperware when you chuck it in the freezer.
But calenders and tracking and ordering food and stuff via a “smart fridge?” My gut reaction would be to unplug it asap. - i’m in agreement. i don’t understand the fuss about interactive fridges.
although if it could run skynet it would certainly have its advantages… - “Lessee. I just want to get a soda”
“You are out of so-da. Pre-pare to be term-in-at-ted. Have a nice day.”
*pulls plug*
have this horrid image of people in the future, who do no shopping because their computer fridge does it for them. And since they never have been to a store, they wind up starving to death. Or getting ill from eating shoe leather. Heh. That would make a nice little sci-fi piece.
I mean…recommend recipes?!?
I can just see it now, a refridgerator ordering a human to cook a particular meal because the food will go bad in a couple of days. And what worries me, is some people do have a tendency to obey a machine.
And just think…of the advertising space. Open your refridgerator, and you get an audio advertisement for that brand of soda that would go good with the moldy stew you’ve got in the back.
Must stop. Will go off the deep end very quickly. - living with parents means i seldom worry about such things…..
- Our main problem with food seems to be that Tescos runs out then doesn’t get any more in for ages!
With fridge food, the only management thingy that might be helpful would be something to tell if there’s another tub of margerine hidden at the back – we’ve not noticed twice now I think. But better lighting, or having a fridge not on the ground, or having it wider and less deep would all fix that.
Actually, something that can find recipes online/ has a huge database, alter them to fit the number of people you want to feed, take into account any dietary restrictions, and tell you if you need to buy anything (and tell you if there’s anything else you have that’ll work just as well), or that you can input “don’t want to go shopping… What can I make to eat?” into, and get a recipe out of… That could be pretty useful! - Rather than fridge telling me when something has run out, I’d rather that it told me that something was running low, so I didn’t run out of it!
- I would really like a green fridge. Not as in color, as in, not full of evil things that are going to punch holes in the ozone layer and ruin the groundwater.
